Technical Abstract

An information processing method and apparatus are provided, and the method includes: obtaining identification information of first user equipment; determining second shared information, where the second shared information includes the identification information and is published by second user equipment that has an association relationship with the first user equipment; and sending the second shared information to the first user equipment.

Patent Claims
15 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An information processing method, wherein the method comprises: sending, by first user equipment, identification information; receiving, by the first user equipment, first shared information; receiving, by the first user equipment, second shared information, wherein the second shared information is published by a second user equipment before the first user equipment sends the identification information; displaying the first shared information in a lock screen interface, wherein the first shared information comprises the identification information and is published by the second user equipment that has an association relationship with the first user equipment; displaying both the first shared information and the second shared information in the lock screen interface in chronological order in which the first shared information and the second shared information are published; receiving M pieces of third shared information, the third shared information including the identification information; and displaying the M pieces of the third shared information in the lock screen interface in chronological order in which the M pieces of third shared information are published, wherein M is an integer and is preset by the first user equipment.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information is location information; and the method further comprises: displaying both the first shared information the second shared information in the lock screen interface in an order according to a distance between the identification information and location information in the first shared information, and to a distance between the identification information and location information comprised in the second shared information.

3

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first shared information is shared information published by the second user equipment in a first social application program, the second shared information is shared information published by the second user equipment in a second social application program or the second shared information is shared information published by a third user equipment in the first social application program, the second social application program being different from the first social application program.

4

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first shared information carries display attribute information, and the display attribute information is used for instructing the first user equipment to display the first shared information in the lock screen interface.

5

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first shared information comprises at least one of the following: text information; picture information; audio information; or video information.

6

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending, by first user equipment, identification information comprises sending, by the first user equipment, a third shared information which carries the identification information.

7

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information is sent to a server, the first shared information is received from the server.

8

8. An information processing device, wherein the device comprises: at least one processor, a memory, a display, and a transceiver; the memory is configured to store a computer program; and the at least one processor runs the computer program to perform: instructing the transceiver to send identification information and receive first shared information; instructing the transceiver to receive second shared information, wherein the second shared information is published by a second user equipment before the first user equipment sends the identification information; instructing the display to display the first shared information in a lock screen interface, wherein the first shared information comprises the identification information and is published by the second user equipment that has an association relationship with first user equipment; instructing the display to display both the first shared information and the second shared information in the lock screen interface in chronological order in which the first shared information and the second shared information are published; receiving M pieces of third shared information, the third shared information including the identification information; and displaying the M pieces of the third shared information in the lock screen interface in chronological order in which the M pieces of third shared information are published, wherein M is an integer and is preset by the first user equipment.

9

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the identification information is location information; and the processor is configured to: instruct the display to display both the first shared information the second shared information in the lock screen interface in an order according to a distance between the identification information and location information in the first shared information, and to a distance between the identification information and location information comprised in the second shared information.

10

10. The device according to claim 8 , the first shared information is shared information published by the second user equipment in a first social application program, the second shared information is shared information published by the second user equipment in a second social application program or the second shared information is shared information published by a third user equipment in the first social application program, the second social application program being different from the first social application program.

11

11. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the first shared information carries display attribute information, and the display attribute information is used for instructing the first user equipment to display the first shared information in the lock screen interface.

12

12. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the first shared information comprises at least one of the following: text information; picture information; audio information; or video information.

13

13. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is configured to: send a third shared information which carries the identification information.

14

14. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the identification information is sent to a server, the first shared information is received from the server.

15

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a first user equipment, cause the first user equipment to perform: sending identification information; receiving first shared information, and displaying the first shared information in a lock screen interface, and the first shared information comprises the identification information and is published by a second user equipment that has an association relationship with the first user equipment; receiving second shared information, wherein the second shared information is published by the second user equipment before the first user equipment sends the identification information; displaying both the first shared information and the second shared information in the lock screen interface in chronological order in which the first shared information and the second shared information are published; receiving M pieces of third shared information, the third shared information including the identification information; and displaying the M pieces of the third shared information in the lock screen interface in chronological order in which the M pieces of third shared information are published, wherein M is an integer and is preset by the first user equipment.
